CARLSBAD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 14, 2009 -- Callaway Golf Company (NYSE:ELY) today announced that the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has rejected the majority of the arguments raised by the Acushnet Company on its appeal from the trial court’s ruling that the Titleist Pro V1 family of golf balls had infringed valid patents owned by Callaway. In particular, the Court specifically rejected Acushnet’s request to dismiss the entire case.
